Celeb Garson Holds Lead But Collins Moves Up

Willie Garson proves himself as a celeb to beat, and holds the lead for the 3rd straight day in Trading With The Stars. There was a "flip flop" (no politicians here) of sorts as actor Stephen Collins replaced champion poker player Chris Moneymaker in the second spot--and Chris is in third. All the other celebs are holding their previous places. Actor James Cromwell is showing the biggest percentage advance--up 1.69% while actor Ernie Hudson showed the biggest percentage decline--at 2.74%. Video below is courtesy of the "Squawk Box" crew.
